Cartons in a packaging plant aren't huge, but they need loading and unloading continuously through the shift. Carrying them by hand dents the corners easily, and workers' backs tire fast. Narrow aisles between racks also leave no room for a forklift to turn.

FullSharp installed a 5T overhead rail, rated at 200 kg, running from the line to the staging area. A KITO hoist rides the rail, with a vacuum lifting pad mounted below it, pressing onto the flat top of the carton. The carton is held by suction, lifted, and pushed along the rail — no manual carrying required.

5T Overhead Rail, KITO Hoist, and Vacuum Lifting Pad for Carton Boxes

Equipment Installed

  • 5T steel rail: FullSharp's rail profile, rated at 200 kg, mounted to the ceiling with threaded rods along the work line.
  • KITO hoist: stable lifting, brake holds securely when stopped mid-cycle.
  • Vacuum lifting pad: presses onto the flat surface of the carton, distributing suction evenly so the walls don't get squeezed out of shape.
  • Vacuum pump and control valve: builds vacuum with a low-pressure alert so the operator knows when the grip isn't strong enough.
  • Trolley running on the rail: a hand push moves it along the line, carrying the carton from the line to the pallet.

Benefits for Your Facility

No dented cartons

The pad grips the flat surface evenly, so corners aren't squeezed and walls don't tear.

Faster loading

Suction, lift, and push are three seamless steps, letting one person keep the whole line moving.

Makes use of ceiling space

The whole system hangs overhead, leaving the aisle between racks wide enough for carts to pass.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp visits the plant to measure the rail run, mounting height, and roof structure to finalize the anchor points. Our technicians weigh actual cartons and check the suction surface and seal quality of the carton material to select the right pad size. We then finalize the rail, hoist, and vacuum pump plan along with the installation timeline.
